:) Thinking about going to bed, but my body isn't quite ready yet. Does Vicodan keep you awake?

15. Do you have to be up early?
I wish I was a day person, but I love being up and night and sleeping till at least 10 when I can.

9. Me either...my head is exploding with sinus pressure
Weather coming in...I'll clear up if it ever passes.

Hope you get to sleep...Vicodan knocks me out.

13. Oh it will
My sinuses predict the weather with 100% accuracy...when the pressure builds in my head, I watch the weather because I know we're about to get snow (or rain when it's what they call warm here).

10. I'm kind of in between. I'm extra tired these days, but thinking of a Taco run.
I didn't eat today or yesterday, so my mother is bugging me.

16. She's okay now. But she's using wrong ointments.
I think I'm too tired for a Taco run. I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich and some soup instead.

:hi:

24. One of my staple meals when I was young and broke was a PB sandwich dipped in tomato soup.
With a side of liver.

Nutritious, no?

I still loves me some peanut butter sandwich broken up into pieces in my hot tomato soup. Better than crackers.

:hi:

19. Maybe you're like me
Edited on Tue Mar-31-09 12:37 AM by blogslut
Prescription medications tend to affect me in an opposite fashion. A pill that causes drowsiness with leave me hyper. A pill that causes excitedness leaves me sleepy.

Perhaps you might ask your doctor if you should switch taking your prescription from @ nighttime to in the morning?

20. Yes, there is a word for that, but I forget what it is.
I'm supposed to take 2 tabs every 4 hours, as needed.

I don't like taking it during the day because at that time, I am usually able to distract myself from the pain.

At night, however, the pain becomes magnified.

21. Perhaps it's time to tell your doctor about this
He/She isn't going to want you to suffer without sleep.
